I Have a Suggestion for Similar Worlds
There really needs to be an 'against terms of service' option when reporting abuse.

Hello,
Unfortunately, "against terms of service" is very broad and would not help us know what exactly the problem is.
Most of the options we allow users to choose when reporting abuse are already things that are against terms of service.
Is there any option you believe is missing in the Report Abuse popup?
Thank you,
Nuno

@Nuno Maybe there has to be something “built-in” that will allow content from minors to be blocked even if they don’t state or lie about their age.....something that would at least link to their initial age based on their initial log-in information (though, obviously, they might lie about that as well). Being harassed by someone who claims to be 16 in his posts when you have all content from minors blocked must somehow be violative of the TOS (and if not, it should be).

@Nuno the issue that I was reporting was an underage user who has openly admitted to lying about his age so he can interact with adults. There wasn't really an appropriate option to put it under. 'It's annoying or not interesting' is probably the closest but isn't quite right either.
I post a fair amount of adult content and a little nudity from time to time. As a result I block all underage content. I realize that SW cannot control users who lie about their age, but it would be nice to be able to more specifically report that situation to protect both the children and those of who choose to post content that is inappropriate for children.
What would be the best way to handle this situation in the future? So far, I've reported and blocked.

@ProdigalSummer if a child goes out of their way to be involved with adult content then they know what they are doing and have most likely done it before and seen everything there is to be seen. The protection of minors is there for their protection but if they go out of their way to be unprotected that's on them. Furthermore the person is lying about their age so for all you know their entire profile is fake and they aren't even a minor at all.. There's too many trolls imo.. Sigh

Thank you all for your feedback and suggestions. I'll get this discussed with the team and see where we can improve.
@ProdigalSummer - could you please send me a private message with an example of where did you see that, or if you can't find anymore, would you please let me know when did you report and what type of report was that? (post, reply, something else?)
Kind regards.

@Nuno sure. Give me a minute to find it.
